Maintain Your Certification

Stay certified. Stay relevant.

Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) Program

The CCR program helps you grow and develop in an ever-changing business landscape. Your career is a journey, and you’ll need to stay relevant as the profession evolves and as the needs of employers grow and change. Your PMI certification is a significant competitive advantage and you’ll want to maintain it.

To stay certified, you’ll need to participate in professional development activities, and earn and report professional development units (PDUs.) There are lots of ways to earn PDUs and nearly unlimited opportunities.

The CCR program is changing. It will become more aligned with the skills employers need and will better guide and support your PDU-earning professional development.

Certification-Specific Requirements

Every certification except the CAPM® requires you to earn a specific amount of PDUs per three-year certification cycle. The requirements differ for each certification, so check the handbook to find out more. For the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)®, you’ll need to retake the exam before the end of your five-year certification cycle.
